6 Foods To Avoid Giving Your Dog!

Below are a few foods that you should not give to your furry friend. I am not a Vet so you should always check with yours before feeding your dog anything you are unsure about.

  1. Chocolate is widely known as a food you should keep away from your dog.  It can speed up their heartbeat and lead to a heart attack and seizures.  In addition to that chocolate can also cause increased urination as well as vomiting and diarrhea.  As soon as you realize that your dog has gotten a hold of the chocolate you need to call your Vet.
  2. Grapes and raisins simply do not agree with a dog’s digestive system.  There is no exact measurement of how much they can handle so it’s best to keep all grapes and raisins away.  If not you might find increased urination, vomiting, and diarrhea.
  3. Onions are another food that can wreak havoc.  They can break down a dog’s red blood cells. If you dog seems to be weak, happens to faint, has pale gums or begins to vomit, this can be a sign of the toxicity onions cause in dogs. 
  4. Alcohol Their bodies just cannot handle it and it can give them alcohol poisoning very easily and lead to death.
  5. Bread Dough is another food to avoid.  This is very soft and might cause the dog to think that it can just swallow the dough whole.  The dough can then rise in your pup’ stomach and cause bloating and nausea. 
  6. Avocadoes might be yummy for humans to eat but they are toxic to dogs.  They contain a chemical that can damage many of the body tissues in dogs.  Guacamole dip is a mix you’ll also want to avoid.

If you are unsure of what to feed your dog, check with your Vet to make sure it is okay.

I hope this helps you out and remember, “A well Trained Dog Starts with a well Trained Owner.”
